This month, the Blues want to expand their alternatives in the middle of the field. Chelsea has made a £65 million offer for Caicedo in an effort to test the waters in their pursuit of the Ecuadorian midfielder.
However, the same journalist recently told GiveMeSport that it would take a price of at least £75 million to persuade Brighton. And to sell one of its prized possessions.
Manuel Sierra and Ali Barat will represent Caicedo. Meanwhile, transfer insider Dean Jones told GMS that Chelsea could make an approach for the South American star this week. Since the transfer window enters its final weeks.
Romano has also said that since Caicedo will soon begin working with his new agents, the upcoming days may be critical. The coming week is crucial in determining whether any transfers take place in January.

Romano’s take on Chelsea and Caicedo
Romano told GiveMeSport:
“It’s important to mention that Caicedo will have new agents in the next few days and this is going to be crucial to understanding what happens for his future.”
With Jorginho and N’Golo Kanté’s contracts at Chelsea set to expire at the end of the season, Caicedo, who has been dubbed a “future leader” by Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig, has the potential to be a great long-term addition to Chelsea’s midfield.

This season, the Seagulls’ talent has averaged 2.9 tackles and 1.7 interceptions per game in the top flight. Earning an overall WhoScored rating of 6.96.
Furthermore, as a direct midfield replacement for Kanté, Caicedo might provide Potter with the spark he needs. Because Chelsea needs to step up as they approach the second half of the season.
